"Keeping my patients in top optimal health is a chief priority of mine, as well as making sure they feel comfortable," said Dr. Mintz. "With the LANAP protocol, I can achieve both, because patients are much more accepting of the less-invasive treatment method, and the results are still incredible. Becoming an instructor allows me to share my experiences and expertise with other clinicians hoping to improve their patients' lives with True Regeneration."

LANAP treatment targets the bacteria and endotoxins causing gum disease in a minimally invasive manner, while keeping healthy gum tissue intact. When compared to traditional surgery, patients report much less pain and a quicker recovery time with LANAP treatment. The LANAP protocol is also the only treatment of its kind FDA cleared to regenerate the bone and tissues lost to gum disease.
